Here's Chaining Day Lyrics
by J. Cole
look at me, pathetic nigga
this chain that i bought, greed, pain and fame this a heinous result
let these words be the colors i’m just paintin’ my heart
i’m knee deep in the game and it ain’t what i thought
copped the range rover my girl got the mercedes
iced out crazy i wanna shine like baby
compared to that nigga i ain’t even got a bib yet
truth be told i ain’t even bought a crib yet
this is everything they told a nigga not to do
image is everything i see, it got a lot to do
with the way that people perceive, and what they believe
money short so this jewelry is like a weave
? and hear niggas say i see you
now bitches wanna fuck you and niggas wanna be you
and police wanna stop you, frisk you, wonder what he do
if a hater snatch a chain i bet it still won’t free you
cause i’ll be right back grinding till i cop another
i sit and think ’bout all the shit i could’nt cop my mother
my partner say that’s just a game my nigga
thats what i heard my jeweler say ? chain my nigga
this is chaining day
chaining day, my chaining day
this is my chain today
my last piece, i swear
my guilt heavy as this piece i wear
they even iced out jesus’ hair
my last piece, i swear
they even iced out jesus’ hair
iced on this white jesus, seem a little unholy
real strange thing about this iced out rollie
it’s the same shit a broke black nigga get gassed at
the same shit a rich white mo’fucka laugh at
well laugh on white man, i ain’t paid as you
but i bet your rims ain’t the same age as you
and i ain’t got no investment portfolio
but my black and white diamonds shinin’ like a oreo
i know back home where niggas sit today
you rock a chain and they always got some shit to say
even back when i was broke i knew his shit was fake
he’d prolly sneeze too hard and his shit could break
but hey, you know the sayin’, “fake it ’til you make it”
me, i did the opposite, made it then i faked it
and acted like i gave a fuck, money i was savin’ up
then copped a crib thats gated till that hundred racks, i gave it up
